The more I learn about myself, the more I realize it isn't about me.

About This Quote

The more time we spend learning about ourselves, the more we see that it’s not about us at all. While we might focus on ourselves or our needs, we need to remember that we are merely a part of the bigger picture. We are like a drop in the ocean and we can never hope to understand the entirety of what makes up us.
